Thomas Feeley

Knowing where and how
a set of medals has been found often quickly leads us to the recipient
or, as is more often the case, their next of kin. Unless it involves the
Police.

Confidentiality and legal obligations, often
means that we (Glyn and myself) sometimes go around in circles. The search for VX72799 Gunner Thomas Charles Feeley was a case in point.

Today as I spoke to Barry, his son, he admitted
that he could hardly wait to phone his sister and tell her that dad’s
medals, stolen quite some time ago, had been recovered.

In this case, as I was later informed by a Senior Constable, ‘recovered’ was the appropriate word.

At the request of the family, who it must be
remembered have gone through the trauma of loss of their father’s medals
once, I will say no more.
